Sexual Misconduct

No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance—Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972

Members of the University of Colorado community, guests and visitors have the right to be free from sexual violence. All members of the campus community are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that does not infringe upon the rights of others. We believe in a zero tolerance policy for gender-based misconduct. When an allegation of misconduct is brought to administration’s attention, and a respondent is found to have violated this policy, serious sanctions will be used to reasonably ensure that such actions are never repeated.

This policy has been developed to reaffirm these principles and to provide recourse for those individuals whose rights have been violated. This policy is intended to define community expectations and to establish a mechanism for determining when those expectations have been violated.

The University of Colorado Boulder (CU-Boulder) prohibits intimate partner abuse, sexual assault, sexual harassment and stalking and provides institutional procedures for resolving reported incidents. The following websites provide CU’s policies and procedures, along with information about filing a report.
